  6. What happens if you add a constraint to a mixin in Dart?
    • a) It restricts the mixin to only be applied to classes that satisfy the constraint
    • b) The constraint prevents the class from using the mixin
    • c) The class is forced to implement the methods of the mixin
    • d) The class cannot have any methods
  7. What is the benefit of applying constraints to a mixin?
    • a) To ensure the mixin is used only with classes of specific types
    • b) To allow multiple classes to implement the same methods
    • c) To prevent the mixin from having methods
    • d) To allow the mixin to be abstract

    • d) mixin M implements class Animal {}

3. Extension Methods

  1. What is an extension method in Dart?
    • a) A method that extends a class’s functionality without modifying the class itself
